About this ebook
Life often seems to dole out a disproportionate amount of rough patches to smooth sailing days. Much of what we do is to manage or do damage control to what is unfolding around us. What we can do is to make intentional efforts to seek out those good things that lie there and let those warm feelings be what touches our hearts.
Based on a personal experience and Lamentations 3:25: “The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.
